I put them in a wet paper towel 2 days ago, put that in a ricotta
cheese container with a lid, and set it on the heated tile floor in
the bathroom. That's right, just 2 days. (I must accidentally have
the temperature set just right.) I'll plant them in some potting soil
this evening and start the same treatment with the next variety --
those seeds are about 8 years old and will need all the help they can get.

Tomatoes and tomatillos, first week of April. I need to go buy some
fresh tomatillos and harvest some of the seeds...
